Access Issue: Seasonal Raptor Closures
Details
Each year, the USFS monitors for raptor nesting.
A pair of golden eagles regularly nest on Bridge Creek Wall. When in effect, starting January 1, PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB or travel within 1/2 mile of Bridge Creek Wall. As a reference, the climb Condorphamine Addiction is just outside of this 1/2 mile buffer, and is OK to climb still. The closure extends through August 15, but there is active monitoring to determine if the seasonal closure can be lifted earlier.
In 2014, there was an active pair of peregrine falcons at Snow Creek Wall, but no official closure was put in effect due to the location of the falcons. The site will be continually monitored with changes or removal of closures updated as necessary.

Description
Remote south-facing crag near the upper 8-Mile crags (the ridge line visible from the road and 8-Mile campground). The wall is named after an old wooden memorial plaque.
Getting There
Take the 8-Mile trail (starts near Stones Throw - a few hundred yards East of the campground entrance) past Veterans Club and continue up to the Camp Boulder bivy. Take the steep gully up and right from the bivy site to the base of the Memorial Buttress (the main gully leads to the Upper 8-Mile crags). ~1 hour approach.
